"The Teodoro lamb contains a mutation in a gene potentially involved in fertilization and will be used to study reproductive disorders in farm animals and as a model for understanding the fertilization process in humans," the statement said. According to researcher Pablo Bermejo-Álvarez, GM animals are essential for expanding our understanding of any biological process. Genetic modification elimin...

Согласно результатам проведенных исследований, отсутствие рецептора CD163 на поверхности клеток полностью предотвращает заражение РРСС. Genus plc уже модифицировала четыре линии свиней, у которых ген CD163 не проявляет активности. Ожидается, что к концу года компания получит разрешение FDA на продажу мяса таких свиней в пищу. Компания также рассчитывает получить разрешение в Китае, крупнейшем потр...

A herd of transgenic goats lives near Zhodino. The BELTA film crew looked into the experimental production and found out how animals differ from ordinary animals, what lactoferrin is and why the project is so important that scientists from both countries are working on it jointly. - We are at the biotechnological experimental production on transgenesis of the scientific and practical center of the...

Новый вариант вакцины от коронавируса «Спутник V» создан на прежней основе, но содержит генный материал штамма омикрон, а не исходного уханьского вируса, рассказали РБК опрошенные вирусологи. Ранее глава Центра им. Гамалеи, где разрабатывалась вакцина, Александр Гинцбург рассказал, что новая версия вакцины нацелена на актуальные штаммы коронавируса SARS-CoV-2. Обновленный вариант вакцины сделан на...

You're unlikely to see anything cuter today: a newborn rabbit named Rodnaya is tasting MILK for the first time . Before that, the scientists had already experienced the most exciting part – weighing her. She weighed over 100 grams, compared to the norm of 60–70 grams. A month later, we were taking further measurements – she was 5......

Growth in the production of MILK and cattle MEAT is one of the main tasks facing the livestock industry today. This is necessary both to achieve the country's food security and to realize its EXPORT potential. But some factors hinder the achievement of high milk and meat productivity of cattle, as well as targets. Among them are herd diseases that lead to production and economic losses. A vivid ex...

This is according to a new study that has found a key human gene responsible for blocking the spread of most avian flu viruses in humans. The gene , known as BTN3A3, which is normally expressed in the human respiratory tract, provides a key human defense against avian influenza. Through a series of extensive tests, the research team was able to show that the BTN3A3 gene is vital in protecting huma...

Long tails have long been a problem for sheep producers around the world, but a research project led by Washington State University graduate student Brietta Latham may eliminate this trait, reports Devin Rokita, WSU College of Veterinary Medicine, in an article: "While some native breeds of sheep naturally short-tailed, most sheep are long-tailed, which can lead to hygiene and HEALTH problems, inc...

A birth defect called "recumbent calf" causes newborns tocalves are unable to stand on their own. As scientists explain , the calves themselves are healthy, but they rarely survive even to the age of six weeks. Scientists from the University of Pennsylvania conducted a study and were able to identify the gene responsible for this defect, which will help prevent its occurrence in the future. Scient...

Antibiotic resistance is reaching dangerously high levels worldwide. Drug-resistant infections kill an estimated 700,000 people a year worldwide, and this figure is projected to rise to 10 million by 2050 if no action is taken. The World HEALTH Organization (WHO) classifies antibiotic resistance as one of the biggest threats to humanity. Multidrug-resistant bacteria can be transmitted from animals...

Allergy to chicken eggs is widespread and is one of the most common and pronounced food allergies in children. The main allergens in chicken eggs are ovomucoid (OVM), ovalbumin, ovotransferrin and lysozyme proteins, among which OVM is the most prevalent allergenic protein. While the other allergenic proteins mentioned can be inactivated or denatured by treatment with heat or digestive enzymes, ovo...

Thinking about the synthesis of genes, you imagine the modern Lefty, who, with the help of a needle and an electron microscope, rivets small and lively living organisms, or Hollywood monsters from a test tube, which, through an oversight, escaped to freedom. Trained bacteria with synthesized genes, which, by order of our scientists, produce protein substances necessary for medicine, is a much more...

This is written by a group of Polish scientists from the Institute of Animal Science, Warsaw University of Life Sciences, and the Institute of Animal Genetics and Biotechnology of the Polish Academy of Sciences in an article published in the journal Animals 2023 on the MDPI portal. “CPS organic grazing is expected to continue to develop,” the authors report. - This is due to pressure from the publ...

Rowland explained that the idea of ​​achieving PRSS resistance through gene editing originated 20 years ago. In 2002, he and his colleagues published a paper on protein removal by gene editing in pigs to make their organs suitable for human transplants. At that time, other researchers described proteins that are likely responsible for the entry of the PRSS virus and infection of the lungs of pigs....
